What is the reaction initiated when a catalyst and a base are mixed together?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Chemical set materials are those that set through the timed chemical reaction of the catalyst and the base.Once the two components come in contact with each other,the chemical reaction begins and continues through the reaction stage.Light-activated materials use a blue light source to initiate the reaction stage.Both components are present in the material but do not react until the material comes in contact with the blue light source,thus giving the clinician unlimited working time.Dual set materials begin with initiation of the blue light source and then continue with a chemical set reaction;this also gives the clinician much better control of his or her working time.
